Home Our Story The Medicine & experience Spiritual Healing Testimonial Contact Us   EL SOL HEALING RETREAT CENTER LUXURY AYAHUASCA RETREATS Our approach to these objectives is three-fold: We work with a highly experienced preparation and integration support team who have a foot in both Western and traditional medicine practices, understanding health from a holistic perspective that incorporates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. We offer individual and group sessions to help you get the most out of your experience. We provide high-quality videos, informative content, and educational resources surrounding holistic healing, shamanism, indigenous culture, psychedelic science, spiritual practices, and tips for preparation and integration, among others. We invite you to co-create a community with us that fosters open dialogue and a safe platform for people to connect, learn, heal, and share their processes with each other. We at El Sol have found, through our experience, that so much of healing comes from being vulnerable, breaking down walls, letting people in, and holding space for others to do the same. When we authentically share stories, struggles, and ideas, we open up the space to ?gure things out on a deep level and remember that we are not alone. At El Sol Healing Retreat Center, we work with indigenous Peruvian Shipibo female and male healers, and have decades of combined experience working at top-rated ayahuasca retreat centers in the Peruvian Amazon. We are honored to promote the expansion of plant medicines and holistic health in an accessible, respectful, informed way.   One thing that we noticed at the centers we came from was the strong focus on the retreat experience itself, with much less emphasis on the before and after – but preparing for the work and effectively integrating the lessons learned into your daily life is as important as learning the lessons themselves. In addition, we maintain our alignment with the larger mission of individual and global healing, and thus understand that coming down to our center for a more immersive healing experience might not be right for someone right away, or at all, depending on where they are in their process. There are many different kinds of medicines, and it’s important that each person ?nds what works for them – be it nature medicine, plant medicine, movement, art, breath, community, or all of the above. As such, we want to provide a space to experience these medicines directly, but also ensure that we provide the tools and resources for anyone to begin, continue, or integrate their healing journey, in a way that is best for them – whether or not they come for a retreat with us.  

2. It is from this understanding that we at El Sol Healing Retreat Center turn towards wisdom that is free from the framework of separateness employed by much of modern society.   Both ancient Eastern and traditional shamanic philosophies work from a basis of connection – mind to body, human to nature, individual to community, physical to spiritual, past to present to future. From that foundation, we are called to examine our own frameworks, and those parts of ourselves we have disconnected from, whether consciously or unconsciously, often due to trauma in its various forms. Plant medicines such as ayahuasca, and other holistic therapies, ask us to connect to all parts of ourselves, and if there are painful parts, to confront them directly: they are speaking to us and want to teach us something. By shining the light of consciousness into the shadowed corners of our psyche, we are able to acknowledge, learn from, and release the suffering attached to them. This is counterintuitive to most modern medicine, which often works through easing the symptoms of suffering, rather than addressing the root cause. Unfortunately, this method of covering up the symptoms and numbing the pain only serves to push the true issue further from consciousness, hindering the ability to release it and worsening its long-term effects. Like a pressurized bottle, this unreleased emotional energy can eventually explode and manifest itself in damaging and unhealthy ways, including illness and dis-ease. However, by turning towards and understanding the roots of that suffering, often reaching all the way back to childhood, only then can we integrate its lessons and thus transform it into the keys to our enlightenment. Oftentimes, it is the most difficult moments in our lives that – sometimes without our conscious awareness – forge the core of our being and make us who we are. Ayahuasca and other holistic healing practices show us that we always have the power to decide how it makes us, and who that person will be.
